It's official guys - the 'Disabled & Sexy' Fashion Show is to be hosted by fashion agent and TV presenter Jonathan Phang!! After being in talks with Jonathan for a while, he has confirmed that he is extremely eager to host the event for us as he is very enthusiastic about spreading the message that fashion should not discriminate against disability. Jonathan has worked with disabled models before and feels very passionate that the fashion industry should be more accessible to those with disabilities.
Most people will know Jonathan from presenting the shows 'Britains Next Top Model' and 'Britains Missing Top Model', but aside from this, he is one of fashions most influential figures. Before presenting, Jonathan worked as a top executive with agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. He represented some of the worlds most famous models, including Tyra Banks and Liv Tyler, as well as launching the careers of Naomi Campbell, Jodie Kidd and Christy Turlington.
Jonathan is the perfect host for the 'Disabled & Sexy' Fashion Show as he has always strived to push the boundaries within the fashion industry; in 1986 he was the driving force behind getting the first black model on the cover of UK Vogue Magazine.
Today, Jonathan owns and runs one of the industries top hair and make-up agencies, producing glossy photo shoots for a vast range of advertising and PR clients.
I am so excited to be working with such an amazing figure within the fashion industry, and simply cannot wait for the show to take place - Roll on October!! :D
